AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry and Democratic challenger Bill White agree that while plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero have stirred controversy, they don't object to a local decision affirming the Islamic group's right to build it.

I guess if Mitt Perry supporters can boast of how sexy he is we can, in turn, make fun of his looks.
btw...that poster claimed to be a 'heterosexual male'. I don't know about you but I have my doubts.
You’re a pitiful person. You’re spitting on the graves of those who died on 9/11.
And they also toss flowers into the water at the memorial to honor the dead still entombed in the Arizona.

Nope, but it is pretty disconcerting to see.
Actually, what he said was this:

Perry, who has campaigned on states’ rights and local control, said he would prefer that planners find another site far from Ground Zero. But he supports the right of local citizens to authorize it.
“I’m a big believer in freedom of religion but believe it would be best for all involved to put the facility elsewhere,” Perry said. “However, zoning is a local responsibility and as a staunch supporter of the 10th Amendment, I do not think the federal government should take steps to intercede or overrule the wishes of local residents. The citizens of New York City will decide the fate of this building.”
“I’m focused on Texas and talking with Texans every day about how we can improve our schools and attract good jobs to the state,” he said. “The people of New York City, not people outside the state, should make decisions on building permits and any land use regulations.”
It's called history and American tourists do the same thing in Hanoi today.
It was a huge political topic in which many politicians weighed in on. I know that many Freepers did not agree with Obama’s position on the matter. But they agreed with many conservative opinions on the matter.
It just so happens that Ick Perry and Obama share the same position on this topic as well as many others.
Can’t have it both ways, states’ right when it suits you, broad federal powers when it doesn’t. C’mon, Buck. I thought you said you were smarter than that!
My point is that some people might be unsettled by the notion of the Japanese even being there.
You mean he was for states' rights before he was against them.
”I support constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage and abortion”

Hope he can handle it when the world leaves ronpaul jibbering in the dust.
That's what slick "politicians" do.
Question.
Did they build a Shinto Temple at Pearl Harbor?

You’re a hypocrite.
